I hiked this the day after my grandfather passed away. It was an uneventful, slushy, easy going day. The trail was not marked well when it directed to the West instead of up the final ridge to the summit. I tried to place some rocks there for it.

Very quiet, the entire Salt Lake was mirror-still. A little bit of slippery mud/slush near the top, but steps and trees helped out in places.

Got a late start and there was a good bit of snow on the trail. The last bits were untouched (since the last snow). We post-holed up to the summit, scrambled the rocky ridge back to the saddle, and had to run back down to make the 5:00 PM trailhead deadline. Very fun.
